An honest review so future guests know what they are walking into.
Positive points: the location is directly opposite a train line; the mattress was comfortable; Rudy (the host's colleague) was very nice and quick to meet us to let us in; she pointed out a parking space. We were lucky with that one!!! Otherwise it's nigh impossible to find one.
Negative points: the room is one of three, in a converted apartment at the back of a block of flats. So shared accommodation and not the 'view from the property'. The photos on the website are there to attract your attention and they do, but my guess is they were taken when the property was first converted. Things look different now. I can't speak for the other two rooms, but the classic suite we stayed in, looked fine initially. However, a rusty nail was sticking out of the drain cover in the shower, so it could be lifted off - which is what we did so as not to get injured on it; the toilet is loose on the floor - it actually moved; a large patch of plaster was coming off the wall just outside the bathroom door. Unfortunately I can't post pictures on here.
Although the house rules say breakfast is from 7am - 11am, it follows that no noise should be made before then, I think. We had the unfortunate experience of sharing the flat with a group of four Spanish ladies, who started banging pots, pans, crockery, cupboard doors at 6am to prepare their breakfast in the oven. Conclusion: read and believe previous reviews! This was not for us!!!
